Tip!
To clearly represent the creation of closed profiles, only the corresponding sections
of the »Cam Designer Basic« are shown.
How to create a closed profile:
First, the important sections (gradients, lines etc.) of the profile must be defined.
Then, the sections must be connected without jerk, if possible. For this purpose, the
»Cam Designer Basic« has
– the sloped sine function
– the 5th-grade polynomial (x5)
A jerk-free connection in a profile means:
The coordinates of the end point of an object must be identical with the initial point of
the following connected object.
The gradient of the end point of an object must be identical with the following connect-
ed object.
Optimise the connection between the 5th-grade polynomial (x5) and a sloping line.
Here, the right end point of the polynominal must be connected with the left end point of
the line.
